: I have had a Leopard Wrasse thriving in my 110 gallon reef for over six months now. I have Aragalive reef sand substrate and the usual live rock setting. I must be one of the lucky few, because my wrass feeds on benthic organisms and is fond of TetraMarine flakes and granules. At each feeding he goes wild for it. It took a little time before adapting and due to the size of the reef probably had enough live organisms to feed on before developping his taste for dry foods. Plus all other fish in the tank feed on it very well, which sets an example for the wrasse. Good luck.

: I am thinking of aquiring a leopard wrasse for my reef tank and

: I understand that in the wild they eat small snails and shelled protozoa

: Will these be a threat to my corals?
